New study showed kids who were consuming higher quantities of meat, fat and sugar had reduced microbial flora in their gut and thus were more likely to not only obesity and allergies but other inflammatory diseases.

Inflammatory conditions such as allergies, autoimmune disorders, and inflammatory bowel diseases are on a rise in western countries and more so in the United States. The gastrointestinal flora (good bacteria in your gut) plays an important role in balancing out your PH and your overall homeostasis.

It makes sense that Sugar, Dairy and Meat (more specifically red meat) would be linked to inflammatory conditions, because they are inflammatory products.  In a state of pain and disease or when your body is in a crisis situation (health-wise) these products need to be avoided to allow the natural defense mechanism reduce the inflammation that exists in your body.

Omega3 Fish oil is a great way to reduce your inflammatory state.  Keep in mind, there’s no alternative to fresh fruits and veggies.

This article written by a SF chiropractor explains in details the difference between Nonsurgical spinal decompression and traction. Here in our office, we utilize both traction and spinal decompression. First it depends on what is causing your condition, in some cases, patients need both. In corrective care therapy, we use various types of traction to rehabilitate and rebuild the spine into its ideal place.

Spinal decompression on the other hand is used mostly for patients with chronic lower back pain where the nerves and or discs are involved, sciatica, disc herniation and a bulging disc. Most of our patients who are candidates for Spinal Decompression, they have been told they are a surgical candidate and are looking for an alternative way of reducing their pain and getting to the root cause of the problem. Most of these patients will never have to go through surgery!

To find out if you’re a candidate for spinal decompression, call us @ 949-387-1333 for a consultation.

An article from the Internet Journal of Orthopedic Surgery in 2004 covers the relationship between immune dysfunction and vertebral misalignment.

“Among 120 atopic dermatitis patients who received spinal correction treatments every day, 106 [88%] showed improvement in skin itching and 86 [72%] showed improvement in skin condition. Among 240 atopic dermatitis patients who did not receive spinal correction treatments every day, we could not obtain a sure treatment effect. As a result of the questioning about the diurnal quantity change of adrenal cortex hormone secretion to 1,699 patients, the adrenal cortex function of these patients may be in the decline condition. We obtained over 70% improvement in allergic symptoms”

In simple terms chronic misalignments of the spine (more specifically neck and upper back) cause chronic nerve compression that can significantly effect the immune system function.  Once the immune system is not functioning at it’s best, allergies and other inflamatory diseases are more likely to occur.

Consistent chiropractic care helps with not only neck and back pain, headaches and migraines, it also helps patients with allergies. Chiropractic care helps remove interference with the nervous system and help you achieve overall optimal health.

Every mom wants the absolute best for their kids from the moment the baby is in the womb til way into adulthood. To know that your baby is in the breech position and have to go through C-section without actually having a choice. What most moms with breech babies don’t know is that there are soo many ways to help turn breech position babies. Webster Technique is only one of many things you can do to help your baby. The purpose of the Webster Technique is not to ‘turn a breech baby’. The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment which reduces nerve system stress, improves pelvic muscle and ligament function reducing torsion to the uterus and potential intrauterine constraint allowing the baby to get into the best possible position for birth. Once the tension and structural strain are reduced, in a case of a breech baby, it provides more support for the correct positioning of the baby and the baby is more likely to turn. The purpose of the Webster Technique is not to ‘turn breech babies’ but it’s been known to do to so, due to the reduction in tension of the ligaments in the pelvic area as well as opening up the space for the baby.

Other than this Technique that a Webster technique certified chiropractor can perform, there are things that you can do at home in order to help your breech baby. Click here for more information.

If you’ve ever been in a car accident even if a minor one, you know what a ‘whiplash’ feels like; neck pain, tingling and numbness in the hands, shoulder pain, mid-back pain, headaches, dizziness, double vision and fatigue are some of the symptoms that a whiplash can bring upon in a minor-severe car accident. This collection of symptoms occur as a result of a soft tissue injury to the neck from stretching and or tearing of muscles, tendons, ligaments, disc or nerve tissue because of the extreme movements that happen during the process of whiplash (usually in a car accident).

There are multiple studies that explain how chiropractic care has been 80-90% effective in cases of minor to severe whiplash. The research compares physical therapy, family practice, and standard emergency care and chiropractic manipulation and management approach seems to be a more favorable choice of treatment. In my opinion, a combination of chiropractic manipulation, exercise rehabilitation therapy, and therapeutic massage is the magic solution to a lot of patients with whiplash. Remember you may or may not have all the symptoms listed (neck pain, tingling and numbness in the hands, shoulder pain, mid-back pain, headaches, dizziness, double vision and fatigue) but that doesn’t mean that your cervical spine (neck) has not been effected by the process of whiplash and that you’re not going to have any symptoms later on down the road.

We help a lot of patients who have been in car accidents or have suffered from neck pain and shoulder pain due to whiplash. If you or someone you know is needlessly suffering from these symptoms, let them know there’s hope! Call us @ 949-387-1333

New study that just came out TODAY! The study evaluates the relationship between lack of motion in a child’s neck and chronic tension headaches in healthy children. We see and help many patients with headaches, it is always amusing to me that no physician has looked into the cervical (neck) spine of headache patients to find the root cause of the problem. Medication is not the way to go unless all other options have been exhausted specially in children.

This study shows that majority of the children who have been suffering from chronic tension headaches have reduced range of motion in their cervical (neck) spine and lack of motion in those segments causes taut and tender muscles in the area that can then lead to tension headaches. This research study supports the fact that the cervical spine should be the explored in children with headaches as the root cause of the problem.

Chiropractors help patients whether a child or an adult in determining if the root cause of a tension headache is in the spine; if that is the case, a chiropractor can help! Be sure the chiropractor you chose to go to is experienced and specializes in seeing children. Chiropractic care can also help strengthen the immune system and help the body function better.

This is an example of what corrective care chiropractors are doing. A 5 year old patient diagnosed with ADHD and treated by a pediatrician with methylphenidate (Ritalin), Adderall, and Haldol since he’s been 2 years old and without any success other than the side effects that may have affected his nervous system negatively. He gets under the care of a corrective care chiropractor and he recognizes the lack of curve in his Cervical spine (neck) that are stretching the nerves inside of the spinal cord that communicate with his brain.  An 8 week treatment of his spine and his facial tics are resolved nd his behavior has vastly improved. At visit 27, he is taken off the medication by his pediatrician because he no longer has ADHD symptoms. Magic? no. Simple physiology of the spine and the nervous system? yes.

The changes in structure and function may be related to the correction of his cervical curve (neck curve). If your child is suffering from or has been diagnosed with ADHD, try chiropractic before you count on medication with lots of horrible side effects for your child.

New study shows that patients who take aspirin every day have a higher risk for developing Chrohn’s disease by 5 times by damaging the lining of the digestive system. Crohn’s disease is a devastating and debilitating condition of the digestive system. According to this article, 500,000 people in the United States have Crohn’s disease, which means half a million people in America have a higher risk for bowel cancer as well. Research on animals suggests that aspirin may reduce the risk of heart attacks, but it can cause not just crohn’s disease, but stomach ulcers and other digestive issues.

Always remember the natural way of treating your aches and pain can be an effective alternative to drugs. Your body has an innate ability to heal itself if you allow it and provide it with all the things it may need.
